Unspeakable bubbles

"A special guy?"

"Yes."

She gradually became more fluent in speaking: "Bubble, what exactly happened here?"

"what happened……"

Seeing the little girl looking at him with a puzzled expression, he asked again, "Has Bubble been unable to find his friends?"

"correct."

"Was anything strange that happened before they disappeared?"

“Nothing strange happened, it was just a dance party,” the little girl said, shaking her head.

"Can you tell me about that ball?" He felt a sudden urge.

“Many people, including Misato, Hisae, classmates, and teachers, are dancing here.”

"Oh right, there's also a band!"

"band?"

"Yes, yes, there's a drummer with multiple arms, a piper who's always laughing, a guitarist without a face..."

"..."

As they listened, everyone's expressions became strange.

"Bubble, who is dancing with you?" Ninomiya Sui stared at the little girl, a vague premonition rising in her heart.

"It's the cloaked junior!"

"Cloaked Junior? Why does Bubble call her Cloaked Junior?" Kazuto asked casually.

"Wearing a veil and a cloak, so she's the Cloaked Junior!"

"What does she look like?"

"When Bubble was dancing, she saw the face of the cloaked junior. She was very special."

The girl looked troubled, unable to find the words to describe the cloaked junior's appearance.

After thinking for a while, Bubble pointed to the sky and said, "Yes, that's what the sky looks like."

What does the sky look like?

He frowned and tried to imagine it, but he just couldn't picture what it would look like.

'However, regardless of what he looks like, he's a very suspicious guy, who knows…'

Hello, little friend!

Kitajima Tsukasa walked to Bubble's side, hiding all his nervousness behind a kind smile.

"Hello, I'm Bubble!"

"Haha, my name is Kitajima Tsukasa. I've heard people talking about you before."

"Oh dear, back then I was just thinking how wonderful it would be to meet that adorable child someday..."

"Uh, wh, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Bubble suddenly looked angry, Kitajima Tsukasa stammered.

You're lying!

"Uncle, you're a lying adult!" Bubble shouted.

"A lie? A lie?"

Cold sweat broke out on Kitajima Tsukasa's forehead. Of course, what he said just now was a lie. He just wanted to get closer to the girl so that he could make his next request.

But how did she realize that she was lying?

"Ignore him, he's always talking nonsense, he never tells the truth!"

Jane Brent, fearing that Kitajima Tsukasa would cause trouble, quickly tried to salvage the situation.

To everyone's surprise, the little girl frowned.

"Lying is bad. Big sister, please don't lie anymore."

"Uh"

"Bubble, it's their fault."

"However, how did you know they were lying?" Kazuto asked, puzzled.

"Bubble can tell if you're lying."

"Bubble, I hate lying!"

"..."

Everyone present was well-informed, and upon hearing the little girl's words, they immediately understood.

Seeing through lies—this kind of mystery might not seem particularly impressive on its own, but when applied to Bubble…

That would be too tricky!

"Bubble, can Uncle Kazuto ask you for a favor?" Kazuto squatted down in front of the little girl.

"Okay."

"I want Bubble to come with us and take a walk around this academy."

Seeing the little girl nod, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Led by Bubble, the group didn't encounter anything strange along the way.

Unicorn Academy was deserted; apart from Bubble, all the teachers and students had vanished.

The possible evil spirit has also completely disappeared.

So, can the Seven Ring Tower finally deliver on its promise?

Thinking this, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

However, everyone's attention was soon focused on the bubbles.

There's still a big problem waiting for them to solve.

"Bubble, are you still going to wait for your friends at the academy?"

Before the little girl could speak, Ninomiya Sui continued, "They're not coming back. Bubble, you should come back with us."

Section 287, Chapter 286: Taking the Blame

"Why, why isn't everyone coming back?"

Ninomiya Sui remained calm and composed when faced with this question.

"Bubble, you should know that I am a member of the board of directors of Unicorn Academy."

Seeing the little girl nod, Ninomiya Sui continued, "Although I also feel very sorry, Unicorn Academy has to close down."

"what?"

Bubble stared blankly at her: "The school... can't stay open?"

"Yes, it can't continue operating."

Ninomiya Sui said calmly, "My family has encountered a major problem, and I'm afraid I won't be able to afford the expenses of the entire academy from now on."

After a pause, Ninomiya Sui continued, "Unicorn Academy originally received some federal subsidies, but given the current situation, it seems that these subsidies are no longer possible."

"Bubble, there's a big problem at Unicorn Academy, it's going to close down."

Ninomiya did not give a clear answer to the question of why no one came back.

Instead, they said something suggestive like, "The college is experiencing operational problems and is difficult to maintain."

It's not fair to say she's lying, but how to interpret it is up to Bubble.

"Then, where did Bubble go?"

The little girl hugged her rabbit doll tightly and asked blankly, "Did everyone go somewhere else? Did Bubble go there too?"

"of course not."

Ninomiya Sui shook her head: "Bubble, your performance is outstanding, and we will arrange a suitable school for you."

........................................................................

At this moment, a high-level meeting is being held on the top floor of the Capitol Building.

All six members of the Stata Federation Congress were present, their faces solemn as they stared at the report in their hands without uttering a word.

"Gulian, you know the whole story best, so why are you silent now?"

The oldest of the six councilors spoke up, looking at Gulian with obvious displeasure on his face.

"Mr. Fukuda, I did obtain relatively detailed information as soon as possible, but this was out of a sense of duty as a member of parliament, and it was my own conscience."

“Perhaps it’s just my imagination, but why did I feel like you were questioning me just now?” Gulian said calmly.

"We entrusted your Seven Rings Tower with maintaining the balance of the Federation's mystical side. How much trust do we place in you?"

Fukuda Hiroshi said coldly, "Now that something's happened, you want to play dumb?"

Gulian was immediately 'shocked'. She stared in astonishment at the old man who had started the argument: "What did you just say? What do you mean by 'your Seven Rings Tower'? I don't understand at all."

"Perhaps Mr. Fukuda is getting old and can't remember things."

"I have to tell you—the Seven Rings Tower is a legitimate secret organization, not some federal department."

"I also want to emphasize that I have no superior-subordinate relationship with Seven Rings Tower. At most, I just have a close personal relationship with CEO Ninomiya."

"Haha, Gulian, do you think you can sever all ties with just a few words?"

"Of course not. In fact, if we're talking about relationships or responsibilities, everyone here is involved."

Gulian cleared her throat: "Do you remember the document I sent to you all not long ago?"
